Yes sir

.Eagle.OP•6/7/24, 4:33 PM

I recommend you the kit this guys sell @SR-FWinger[73]_David , unless you are gonna print the parts youself.

.Eagle.OP•6/7/24, 4:34 PM

He pre assemble the hardest part for you.

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:34 PM

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:35 PM

I know a guy with a 3d printer otherwise

.Eagle.OP•6/7/24, 4:38 PM

You are gonna enjoy putting it together.

.Eagle.OP•6/7/24, 4:38 PM

And have a better understanding of how it works too

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:39 PM

I just want one for cheaper but yeah

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 4:51 PM

I got the kit from @SR-FWinger[73]_David and the motors from @walmis which were both delivered within two weeks and then it took me only around 5 hours to assemble

(

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 4:51 PM

Cost wise it’s about the same as a built one but no waiting around for an impatient guy like me

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 4:52 PM

@walmis can you remove me from the preorder for a pan assembled one so everybody moves up a place

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:55 PM

It is probably cheaper if you print the plastic yourself

(

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 4:57 PM

Definitely cheaper if you print yourself and if you have a half decent printer there are no complicated parts i was just too impatient to have to wait for me to get the time to print as some of the parts were 14-20 hour prints

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 4:59 PM

I have no idea what printer the guy I know has but it should be fine

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/7/24, 5:04 PM

Start sourcing the bearings and screws etc so you are good to go once the prints are done and order the motors

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 5:18 PM

Sorry for late answer but it is the "DIY FFB kit: 57BLF03 x2" right?

BBanan Pajen It is probably cheaper if you print the plastic yourself

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:24 PM

it just depends how much you want to put into the materials

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:25 PM

you can really save a lot of money if you go for the bare minimum on prints, not so much on bearings/fasteners that are pretty much going to be a constant price

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:26 PM

David's kit has the advantage of a much more similar upper gimbal to actual vpforce, so based around an extrusion + compatible with vpforce metal grip connector upgrade

nubbins•6/7/24, 5:28 PM

I think he also uses pa12 for the grip connector itself, and completely solid prints for the gimbal parts

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 5:42 PM

Banan Pajen•6/7/24, 5:46 PM

I think Im gonna cheap out as much as I can without it falling apart like paper

Touch_Of_Legend•6/7/24, 6:49 PM

Between 5 and 10hours is a great estimate on the amount of work.

Depends on how confident you are with medium scale projects and/or the quality of prints also makes a slightly difference.

If you’re comfortable with a soldering station and have that preset up and you’ve got some random bits of wire or heat shrink you’ll be just fine.

Follow the guide.

Follow the guide.

Follow. The. Guide.

PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO PART ORIENTATION.

As example the main stick mount has a slot for the wires. Pay attention to “where it’s at” and “how it’s facing” in the pics and as you move along keep it as a reference point.

If you have ANY issue… back up and start again. Some parts can go on both ways but the screws only fit, or are only recessed, one way.

Remember wire length matters! Short and sweet plus a little slack..

When connecting the motors pay attention to the Labels. They should be facing UP!

I have a pic I share that shows the inside wiring of a Rhino start switch (zoom in!)

The Power (+) comes from the plug to the C side of the Emergency cut off switch.

Power (+) goes from the NC side of the Emergency cut off switch to the Main board.

Negative (-) goes from the Plug to the Main board.

Outside that make sure to use lots of pics from the DIY section as alternate angles and I already know… You got this!

Happy building and Happy flying!

Touch_Of_Legend•6/8/24, 9:16 AM

While I’ve never built this kit.

New users should know there’s a few happy Rhino’s flying from this guys kits.

I have no idea on price or whatever but I know it’s legit.

Search for some reviews of the builds and it gets my stamp of approval for sure.

Good luck with the Sale and Happy to see yet another baby Rhino get its wings!

SSR-F_Winger_[73]_David Hey Guys. Got one complete Kit ready to Ship on monday.👍🙃

Touch_Of_Legend•6/8/24, 9:22 AM

You know I’m not sure the logistics but maybe we could ask for a “For $ale” section where folks could pass on stuff they don’t need (like extra shift registers or plugs), or crafty folks could offer some smaller print services for “extensions” and you, and others, could offer kits.

I mean it’s legit so that shows potential users who is offering services and keeps a record or past contacts AND keeps new folks from being scammed by someone who’s name is really close… take the money and close out the discord before we can catch them (using a fake name similar to one of the sellers).

So yeah… I think IF we allow it? We should maybe look into a soft space to allow it to self regulate itself (and keep its own records).

Idea?

SR-F_Winger_[73]_David•6/8/24, 12:28 PM

Yep..good idea. I'll Talk to walmis about a section. His OK to offer my stuff Here i already have.

SamNFTY•6/10/24, 3:09 PM

Yeah, it should be about 6 months or so when I get mine, and it's already longer. If you have some DIY inclinations, you can get a kit and put it together yourself in a much shorter time. VPForce sells the motors and controllers. You can either 3D print the rest yourself, or there's some folks that sell this parts.
